Blood was collected by cardiac puncture (intraperitoneal infection and survival experiment) or via the vena cava inferior from mice euthanized at defined time points. Serum enzyme levels of pancreatic amylase and alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) were measured using the EuroLyser CCA 180 Vet system (QinLAB Diagnostik) according to standard methods recommended by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry. The Mouse TREM-1 ELISA Kit (RayBiotech), DetectX® Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Detection Kit (Arbor Assays), Mouse Lipocalin-2 (NGAL) ELISA Kit (RayBiotech) and DetectX® Serum Creatinine Kit (Arbor Assays) were used to measure the respective parameters in serum of mice. Urine of mice was collected from mice euthanized 24, 48 and 72 h p.i. from moribund and uninfected mice. Either spontaneous urine was collected or gentle trans-abdominal pressure was applied onto the bladder and urine was collected using untreated glass capillary tubes. Urinary KIM-1 and creatinine levels were measured using the Mouse TIM-1 ELISA Kit (RayBiotech) and the Creatinine Parameter Assay Kit (R&D Systems), respectively. KIM-1 levels were normalized to urinary creatinine to account for differences in urinary concentration.

Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice

Male mice (littermates, 8 ~12 weeks old) were anesthetized via
intraperitoneal injection of ketamine (120 mg/kg) and xylazine (12 mg/kg)
and then subjected to bilateral or unilateral kidney IRI. Briefly, IRI was
performed through flank incisions by clamping the renal pedicles for
indicated times. Once the clamps were removed and restoration of blood flow
was visually observed, the wound was sutured closed. Sham-operated mice
underwent the same procedure except that the renal pedicles were not
clamped. Mice received buprenorphine SR (0.5 mg/kg) as a postoperative
analgesic. Kidneys were allowed to reperfuse for the indicated times. For
unilateral IRI, 1×1012 AAV-TELMO or a control AAV in 75
µL PBS were injected into the renal vein while the renal pedicles
were clamped. Fourteen days after reperfusion, the contralateral right
kidney was removed to evaluate the function of the left kidney. Blood urea
nitrogen (BUN) was measured using the DetectX Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Detection
kit (Arbor Assays, Ann Arbor, MI). Creatinine was measured as described
above. The mice were euthanized with an overdose of ketamine and xylazine,
and blood was collected from the retroorbital sinus. The kidneys were
harvested for histological analysis and RNA extraction. All mouse procedures
were performed by approved IACUC protocols.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
